Silent Apologies

A quiet atonement for the lingering urge to disappear - and the will to keep moving forward despite it.
"Silent Apologies," the latest single by non-binary alternative artist sammy. /REVERSIES, is a dark, introspective alt-rock ballad that gives voice to the unspeakable apologies buried deep inside.

- About the Song -

Opening with a delicate guitar arpeggio and whispered vocals, "Silent Apologies" slowly builds into a raw outburst of sound-distorted yet intimate.
From the gritty resonance of real amplifier-recorded guitars to the stripped-down drums and an almost aching vocal delivery, the track immerses the listener in the memory of emotional pain.

The grunge- and emo-influenced arrangement that intensifies in the latter half pays tribute to 90s rock and today's indie-emo scene, while staying rooted in sammy.s unique aesthetic-where pain and tenderness quietly coexist.

The bilingual lyrics weave between English and Japanese, capturing a loop of emotions: loss, regret, unmet feelings, guilt, and the longing for forgiveness.
A key moment comes in the English lines:
"Just run away, no end, no meaning / Wrapped in numb and calm-what am I shielding from?
-a haunting reflection of the mind's quiet collapse and emotional detachment.

About the Artist

sammy. /REVERSIES is a one-person DIY alternative rock project that writes, records, and mixes everything alone-fueled by personal struggles with bipolar disorder and a deep empathy for the misunderstood and overlooked.
Describing the project as a "one-person DIY alternative rock band (maybe?)", sammy. brings an emotional rawness and genre-defying blend of grunge, emo, and J-pop influences.

In terms of production, the sonic quality of this new track rivals today's international indie scene, delivering what could be described as "a silent scream" made audible.
This marks a major evolution in both sammy.'s songwriting and production style, pointing toward a full album release in the near future.
